EdifierR980T 4" Active Bookshelf Speakers - 2.0 Computer Speaker - Powered Studio Monitor (Pair)

If you're looking for a set of 2.0, no-nonsense, mid-range computer speakers with great sound, this is the set for you.If you are a 20 year CTS-I certified veteran of the A/V industry looking for a set of "monitors", you may want to re-evaluate your pricing expectations, or adopt the philosophy that the monitors you use should be similar to what your target audience will probably have... low to mid-range speakers.For everyone else, this speaker will very likely fit the bill. They don't come with a remote that only adds to the cost of the speaker set and will end up unused in a drawer. They sound much better than that $12 beige plastic speaker set you found at a yard sale or have had laying around since the 90s. They have a reasonable low-end even though they don't come with a large box containing a 6 inch "subwoofer" you have to stash somewhere while also connecting five different cables to it. The cabling is simple, with an audio cable connecting your computer to one speaker, and then standard speaker wire is connected from the first speaker to the second. There is no wall wart transformer; a standard two prong power cable comes from the first speaker and easily fits in your crowded power strip that is crammed behind your desk. The speakers are a little bigger than what you'll find in the typical Wally World or Bullseye electronics department, but the speaker cabinets provide precious resonance space necessary to give you that better low end.The only issue I've seen is that you CAN overdrive these speakers if you have the volume maxed on both your audio source and the speakers themselves. Since the volume knob is hidden on the back of the first speaker, the best thing to do is to max your audio source volume, and then adjust the speaker volume knob down from max until the distortion stops. Then, always adjust the source volume and leave the volume knob alone.I am very satisfied with this speaker set.

I really like these speakers.The reason I chose these was for several reasons:1. Affordability - These were under $100 and had plenty of good reviews.2. Versatile - I bought these for my Audio Technica 120 turntable. I like that they have the input holes vs other speakers that only have cables going out. This eliminated the need for an adapter between the speakers and the turntable. I may buy some for my computer in the future.3. Looks - These look very sleek and have a faux wood look. Unfortunately, the black doesn't fit my aesthetic, so I'm going to end up covering these with a fun patterned or solid colored vinyl.At first, it seemed complicated to set these up because of the red and black cables, but all you do is stick them in their corresponding holes. Very simple to understand.It also comes with 2 sets of cables for the inputs.The sound quality is pretty decent for me. You can adjust the bass with the knob next to the volume knob. I wouldn't say these are the clearest sounding speakers but for the price, they are definitely unbeatable.

Bought these based upon reviews and specs, though I wasn't familiar with the brand. So glad I took a chance! The sound is full and rich with clean deep bass. Hard to believe the sound quality these produce from their diminutive size. They're rated at 20 watts RMS which is plenty for speakers their size. (If uou aren't familiar, "RMS" is a true measure of an amplifier output to the speakers. So the internal amplifier inside generates an honest 20 watts delivered to the speakers. Never believe exaggerated numbers you'll typically see on inexpensive speakers. They're inflated "peak watt" capacity (not power) which is what you can feed them for a second or two before they blow up, not a meaningful measure of any kind, and a good indicator that the product is essentially junk. I'll be buying another set of these for my home PC, as I put these on my office PC. These absolutely beat the tar out of the Bose speakers I have on the home PC and they were more expensive!

These Edifier 4" bookshelf speakers are a great value for anyone looking to upgrade their audio setup on a budget. The build quality is solid, and they deliver a warm, full sound that's great for casual music listening or desktop use. The mids and lows come through nicely, but the highs aren’t as crisp or detailed as I’d like—especially for genres like classical or anything with a lot of high-frequency detail. Still, they get the job done and look great on the shelf. No remote, but simple manual controls on the speaker itself work just fine.

Purchased for our Sing Along. Works great and made me a better singer. LoL!

Although the first set I purchased was dead on arrival, the replacement came just 24 hours later. And it was worth the wait.These speakers are loud, clear, and on point. I hooked them up to my gaming PC because my speaker monitors were terrible. But these replacement speakers blow my socks off.Dollar for dollar, pound for pound, these speakers punch above their weight. Fantastic.

Great desktop speakers. They're large, so be sure you have the space for them.

For a little more you could have the exact same size speaker with a lot more punch. These 12w speakers are not loud at all. I have them hooked up to a DAC at 98% and the speakers at 90% volume and they are just loud enough to hear voice. Speaking of voice, I can hear a bass echo inside of these that drive me nuts. I would not recommend these but the Edifier R1280T versions are so much better. I will return these and buy the black Edifier R1280T . I already have the Walnut Edifier R1280T since 2020 and they really shine. I run the Edifier R1280T at 50 percent and have a lot of flexibility in volume and adjustment. These, Even with an added EQ sound really bad.
